I played game #171 Stanford/Northwestern over 44.
I make my own totals for CFB and made the number 49.5 on this match up. Stanford finished last season with 3 consecutive games of scoring 30+ points and with QB Kevin Hogan playing his best ball of the year. Senior QB Kevin Hogan and 8 other starters (including 4 offensive linemen) return for the Cardinal offense in week one. The powerful Stanford defense must replace 7 starters from last year's dominant squad.Northwestern finished last season by averaging 38 points in their last 3 games. Each of those contests witnessed the OVER cashing the money. I believe that the total opened too low because the books over adjusted the number because public perception is that Stanford is a dead nuts UNDER team. Unless there is a key injury or horrible weather in Evanston, I believe that this total should creep higher by kickoff.
